With Okafor, Dirk can't be doubled on the perimeter near as easily.
They would be able to play any style much easier.
Okafor wouldn't have to be the #1 option either. I can't imagine how he would blossom with the attention that has to be paid to Dirk.
Dirk needs rest, bring in Diop, and move Okafor to PF.
With this scenerio.
You have your shooter in JET. You have your penetrating and controlling PG in Kidd. You have a (well I have seen it before he was the number 2 option) slasher in JHo. You have a perimeter defender in Wright (I hope) - who can slash a little and knock down the 3. You have an inside force who can defend the rim in Okafor. You have a backup defend the rim and pick up the trash guy in Diop. And of course, you have your superstar in Dirk.
They would be as well, if not better rounded than NO and Utah (which are both very well rounded teams -- they are just not quite experienced or talented enough; which they may be this year).
